New Delhi, Dec 08: The Pota review committee today issued notice to Centre seeking its views on the Tamil Nadu government's objections that the committee did not have jurisdiction to go into the detention of MDMK supremo Vaiko and Tamil daily Nakkheeran's Editor R R Gopal under the anti-terrorism law. The three-member committee headed by Justice A B Saharya directed the central government to appear before it on December 22 to express views on the "preliminary objections" of the state government that the committee was not authorised by any statutory power to go into the matter when charges have been framed by the court.
